Shared Flambé
Imperial Stout 13 º
Shared Flambé is a decadent Imperial Stout that harmonizes intense adjuncts with a robust, roasty foundation. The addition of Ghanan Cocoa Nibs layers deep, bittersweet chocolate atop an already chocolatey malt base, creating a luxurious richness. Ripe banana notes are expertly integrated, providing a creamy fruitiness that rises through the aroma and palate. Shredded coconut adds a soft, oily roundness, further smoothing the intense 13% ABV. Expect a complex interplay where toasted grain and dark chocolate meet tropical sweetness. This full-bodied beer offers a velvety, lingering finish that showcases a seamless, multi-layered dessert-like experience while maintaining its stout identity.
Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40+ SRM). Crowning the beer is a thick, persistent, deep tan head with dense lacing. High viscosity is evident through heavy legs when the glass is swirled.
Aroma. High intensity featuring a rich blend of dark chocolate, Ghanan Cocoa Nibs, and espresso. Pronounced notes of ripe, caramelized banana and sweet toasted coconut dominate the bouquet, supported by a hint of smooth alcohol warmth and dark fruit esters like raisins.
Taste. Initial impression is exceptionally rich with layers of bittersweet cocoa and molasses. The mid-palate introduces integrated banana sweetness and creamy coconut that rounds out the roasted grain bitterness. Hop flavor is very low, allowing the malt and adjuncts to lead. The finish is moderately sweet and lingering with a pleasant, warming aftertaste of fudge and dark fruit.
Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a thick, chewy, and viscous texture. Carbonation is low, enhancing the beer's velvety creaminess. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, devoid of any harsh solvent character.
